phone reset issue

I had a strange issue this morning. I was on the phone and someone rang in on call waiting but I didn't answer. After I hung up on the call the ACS boot animation popped up and the phone reset itself. It didn't actually turn off just reset somehow. Everything came back up fine after about 30 seconds but it was very odd. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Everything else is working properly.

On another note... is there a program besides droid explorer that allows you to copy files to the system directory from a pc? I have been trying to copy ringtones and things to the system / media directory and it acts like it is writing but the files don't make it through. Would like to know if there is another alternative.

Thanks

Here it is!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Isira:
There are a few ways.

1. ADB push

2. Copy files to SD Card and use Root Explorer to copy to /system/media/

When you reboot the phone, it resets the timer.

I flashed this ROM without issue on the first try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
You read my mind . . .
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
+1 Ive flashed it several times, while testing other things. And each time, it worked perfectly. This is with using ODIN in between all of the flashes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
I have this issue with Slacker Radio and with Sirius app. Streaming just randomly stops, as if the pause button was hit. The app is not frozen, nor does it FC. Streaming just stops. If I hit pause twice, streaming will resume. I don't know why this happens. But, it is not due to this ROM. I have had this issue for a long time. Wish someone had an answer/fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JMMusic:
I think you literally just got lucky. The fact that it works after several tries obviously indicates it isn't completely broken. If you read through this thread you see 2, 3, 4 tries as being common for many people. It worked for me on the second flash (the first time it acted like it worked, but then booted up to the old system). I did absolutely nothing different the second time, so the process is not the issue.

That leaves phone hardware (and if as high a percentage of phones have defective hardware as people who have needed multiple flashes according to this thread, we are all screwed) or the bootloader (CWM), which seems to be the most likely culprit. If it were the ROM, we would be discovering "wipe 3 times" here rather than that being an instruction from the start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
I recreated his problem, and it doesn't happen on nebula, so how can you be sure? Just going through every problem post and saying that the Rom is flawless is a waste of time and misinformation.

K0nane can we get the op updated with known bugs in big bold format?
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
Another quick question, if cwm3 if such a problem how come the other two ext4 roms flash fine on the first time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
I never stated that the ROM is flawless. I merely stated that I had MY streaming audio issue PRIOR to this ROM. I had it on NEBULA and on BONSAI and on stock EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
I was responding to your statement "An observation, this rom will not flash properly the first time you try."

Perhaps YOU were unable to flash it the first time you tried. However, many people, myself included, were able to flash it on the first try. If your statement were correct, NOBODY could flash it properly the first time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
shoutcast radio doesn't work either :( not in winamp, not in the connected music player apk either. It just fails to connect to servers every time. I had no issues before making the switch to ext4 and this rom. anybody else use shoutcast and have this issue??

edit: now it does, after a re-boot. Also battery stat jumped from 75 to 24% after the reboot. so weird.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Actually, yes, oddly I had this happen last night as I was draining my phone down. I accidentally direct called someone and hit "end" a bunch of times and the phone soft-rebooted. It was the equivalent of a win7 crash and reboot (software reboots but not the hardware). Only happened that one time though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pipskicks:
Why set the settings in SetCPU to "On Demand?"

I was on "conservative" getting great battery life and that change caused it to drop dramatically. I have it back on conservative but putting it on "on demand" is sorta like running stock for the battery or putting a LWP on, it kills pretty quick...I went to dinner and it was mostly idling and killed like 70% of my battery in a couple of hours...
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
Your should definitely see great battery life with this Rom. almost eleven hours unplugged and still 58 percent
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
I read somewhere that "conservative" was causing some people freezing problems, etc. However, if you don't have those issues, and want better battery life, "conservative" should be better for you than "on demand". In short, "on demand" gives better performance/worse battery life. Pick your poison.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
1st flash worked great for me. If you have issues other than the known bugs you should either clear data for that app or re install that app. This rom is amazing. Also I use conservative for screen on and powersave for screen off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] volkly:
Can someone please post the default wallpaper, flashed a theme and it over wrote the wallpaper. :(

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JMMusic:
Ok, I retract and revise that to "An observation, this rom will likely not flash properly the first time you try. You might get lucky." :p

I can appreciate your focus on the semantics rather than the intent. My apologies.

Try logging out of latitude, and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then at least that will let you know the cause. I can load up latitude on my phone as well and see if it causes the issue. if it does, then I will see if I can pull some debugging logs off my phone to post for the developers if they are interested in looking into it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman0900:
I've posted this before, but all u need to do to fix that is pull GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk from another rom then push it to /system/app. I got the one from midnight rom 4 and it works great. You may need to restart to get it working.

gps review

I just wanted to inform everyone of the testing ive done on this rom in order to help improve the syndicate roms and peoples overall experience with custom roms.

1. this current syndicate rom is good, everything works, but the gps is super slow to connect, so its kind of unreliable. oftentimes it takes about 10 minutes or more to get the gps to kick in, some times it never connects.

reasons why i believe that it is the rom.

1. When i flash viper rom 4.0.4 the gps locks within 3-5 seconds, in the same place i tested the gps with syndicate 1.0

2. When i do the gps fix instructions on xda with syndicate 1.0, gps still takes long time to get my position, so it doesn't seem like its fixing it.

is there something else i could do to improve the gps connection speeds, please advise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
I think this is a bug in the new radio.

I've gone to hang up a call before and had the phone randomly reboot.

Edit: I'm on Stock rooted EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
The one included in my theme works great also
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
I thought I might have a GPS problem as well. Until yesterday when I decided to go out and actually do a drive test. Within 2 seconds, I had a full lock. No problem at all. Going to try again this afternoon, but I would say that, at least on my device, no GPS issues.

I still need to do a longer nav test to see if it will drop the GPS (as it did on DK28).
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Nice ROM guys! Only issue I have is the email FC'ing bug that everyone else has. K9 doesn't work with my work Exchange server so I can't use it. Hope you guys have the fix out to it soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] volkly:
LOL, its great no doubt but i do perfer the simplicity of the original wallpaper.

Thanks for posting the wallpaper!
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Waiting on 1.0.1!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pipskicks:
This isn't a "fix" by any means, but people have been saying a lot that it will FC but you can eventually get the email to open. That is a crappy way of going about it, but a way to get the email in an emergency.

Isn't there other 3rd party apps that will work with your server?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Knuxr:
For some reason I am getting a lot of not able to send message for text messages, anyone else getting this or have any ideas on how to fix that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Try.clearing cache and data first. If that doesn't work reboot your phone.

Something like I describe in this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11692345#post11692345

It's happening on every EB13 ROM I've tried so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
He (and I) posted about streaming audio issues. What you are writing about is playing sound files which reside on the phone (ringtones, alrams, etc.) -------> different issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Knuxr:
Tried rebooting already and clearing the data did not help, I have signal but it just won't send/receive any text messages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZephyrFox:
Except for the games, which probably wouldn't be streaming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
26 hours, 22% battery left. This is amazing. I haven't seen this kind of battery life since baked snack on 2.1. Great job guys, cant wait for another release. Btw, I love the lack of lag from swype. It's absolutely incredible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
I made a one click fix for the search button in case anyone is having trouble and doesn't want to wait for 1.0.1. I wish I knew how to make a flashable zip but since I don't this was the best I could do. It's just like all the other one clicks, unzip it, plug your phone into usb with debugging on, and click on run.bat. Press any key to start it and it only takes a few seconds to run. It should tell you to reboot if it worked. Anyway, hope this helps. Zip is attached.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maddogv6:
Same problem here. Cant use K9. So i decided to use Enhanced Email instead. It works just fine and i feel is just as good as K9 if not better. Its not free on the market, but i'm sure u can find the .apk somewhere.

Twice

I had to flash twice. First time (with the Fully Loaded) was really messed up. It would just freak out every time you tried to press a key and then restart itself. I tried again with Standard and it's working great.

I don't know what the issues is, but CWM would seem to be a good place to start. Nonetheless, it's going now, and it just screams. I'll be keeping this for a while. (Or maybe until I can get some of that Cyanogen mod stuff that noob is working on.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] evancg:
I think mine might be different. I should clarify, I'm not streaming audio (well, Pandora is) but with Rhapsody it happens on streaming music or stored music. Google Listen are podcasts I've already downloaded. The games are certainly not streaming. Pausing and unpausing doesn't fix anything - I have to reboot to restore audio.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schnergun:
Anyone else having fail issues with the video camera? I get to about 4 seconds and it stops and says recording failed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Oh. Ok. My issue is limited to streaming audio. Have no issues with stored MP3s or other sounds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Battery drained surprisingly fast today. I posted before, with regular usage, I ran the phone down to 79% in 9 hours on my first day. Today I drained 50% in 7.5 hours.

Weird.

Maybe I was just using it a little heavier today. Will report stats in the future.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
That's just you, I just recorded a 20 sec video no problem.

I'm running standard btw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schnergun:
yeah i am running standard as well. any clue on a possible fix ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
ok im an idiot lol , i made earlier posts of certain apps fc on me, well i never even thought of reinstalling them. and now they work. the only one im having issue with is the zynga poker.

and remember that picasa issue i stated. well weird thing is all of a sudden this morning they started to work , and now not getting the fc for picasa

whew.

anyway so far im not having any more issues. oh oh and i was finally able to get my smartbench score above a 1000 for pi woooooohoooo!!!!

this rom rocks
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
My methods are fine. I just used my nandroid backup to revert back to Midnight. I'm a little ill that it doesn't work, but it wasn't how I flashed it. Funny how people blame something the user has no control over. I wiped all 3 3 times after backup and flashed, pretty simple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
Does anyone know how to remove the 270 rotation? I calibrated my sensor, and it's very responsive.... but it too easily goes to 270, lol. I would have posted in Q&A, but I'm running this ROM, and I wasn't sure if a solution might be ROM-specifc or not. Thx in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
This rom is great, thanks!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
What a simpleton. I voiced my experience and I get accused of "hating." You don't know me son, keep your rude comments to yourself.

This is probably going to be the best ROM available but to say it runs perfectly for you doesn't mean a hill of beans to high end users. It has many problems and I'm sure they'll be worked out in the future. However, all these people singing praises are going to get more people like myself to try this rom out before everything works properly. A simple search of this thread proves it's not running perfectly.

Now, back to the people who have something constructive to add...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
2 hrs 43 min. Still going at 12% at 29 hours
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Yes, figured that out and tried to re-install the kernal and caused more problems. So I went back wiped all 3 options 3 times and restored again and it's fine. I must've skipped the wipes on the restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Gps for me locks in 4-5 seconds everytime now. This rom is the best and is 98% perfect for the hater dd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Thanks! That is consistent with my theory . . . . that the people who are getting a ton of time on a charge only have their screen on for a small portion of that time (you had the screen on < 10% of the time your phone was on). I don't think the phone is capable of having the screen on for more than 4 hours on a single charge.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
I used fully loaded too, maybe people are having more luck with the standard.

I'm going to wait until the update and I see positive feedback. Everything works with midnight rom right now and I had to do a lot of tweaking to get it where I want it. I don't want to go through all of the again until I know everything works.

No one even commented on the experimental wireless tethering that's on the rom, which is what kicked off all my issues. They just want to call you a hater and dismiss you. lol!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cactus165:
There's really no need to get this condescending, mate. I've read through every single page of this thread from its release and was well aware of these issues being worked on. I just haven't seen anybody else have their phone be permanently (until reflashed) buggered because they happened to have opened something with hyperlinks to secured sites. It was in light of the bug that I posted, not in ignorance of it; I left it up to the Dev to decide whether that extra input is worth anything to him or not.

My focus is on doing what little bits I can to help a promising ROM get even better. I'll attempt to reopen the offending message once 1.0.1 is released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] grimproductions:
Rom is fairly nice for being new, runs fast as Frahht. I got a 2100 on quadrant with apps running.

Only a few little bugs i have noticed so far after two days

with auto rotate on it locks in land scape mode

camera flash works sometime but no always even when flash is turned to always use

GPS wasnt locking then used the GPS status app to update the satillites and it locks in a couple seconds now

And as stated already the search key does not work

but all in all seems like it could be a great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Some nasty people here. If you post that there are problems to warn others to wait until they are ironed out, they get mad and take it personal. Probably 19 year olds or less. Just ignore them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
well the included wireless tether works perfectly for me. no fc's and streams quite quickly. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
love the rom using the fully loaded with ext4

my quadrent score went to over 1900 from 1516 with ext13 stock flash with preroot ext4 clockworks mod 3.

the only thing i dont like so far is that the icons on top are not stock... i just loved the stock icons... the blue 3g was just so cool.... is their a way to use the stock icons and themes?

has anyone had any improved battery with this? a post on page 1 says like 30 hours?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Strange. Any of the version 3.x wireless tether apps have eventually bugged out or rebooted my phone. They did the same thing on a friend of mine's phone as well. And then did it on this rom too. But if it's working for some people, it all has to come down to a flash that just didn't work for whatever reason. I've read the flashing just doesn't work sometimes and no one seems to know why.

I may try the standard later tonight for kicks, if I can somehow maintain my hate long enough to do so LOL!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I'm on the standard version now, had to flash twice. Used wifi tether a few times, and could browse the web fine, but Youtube took long to load and kept pausing every few seconds. My iPod Touch connects but doesn't receive any data. So far no crashes or reboots here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
You're right, I don't know you.

However, my post was aimed at the fact that a lot of the people on this board unload their crap on the developers without thanking them in the process for spending their free time doing these things. Sometimes debugging is mind-numbing work, I would know, I'm an Engineer.

A thank you goes a long way. Noobnl left in part because people would crap on him so often for the things he did, because he didn't get it "right".

It's not the first time that has happened. The MobileAP developer, j_r0dd from the T-Mobile forums, stopped helping us for much of the same reasons. It's a repeating problem; some people on here are ungrateful b*tches. I apologize for singling you out.

As a developer, it's hard when people say (in not so many words): "Your work sucks. Nobody should be using it."

It's not the flashing, its something else. If you keep trying it will start working. I played with the settings too, but nothing specifically seemed to make it work. It rebooted and crashed on me at least 5 times today before it started working.

My last comment on it not being ready for release was out of line and I said it out of frustration at the time.

It really does sound close to what I've been experiencing. Did you notice if interface sounds still worked? When it happens to me, the only things that stop playing are those that are stored on the SD card, everything in system works fine.

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Dee, it was stable in testing - but I appreciate your support. Major changes like the CIQ removal sometimes affect things that testers just wouldn't be able to get to, and that's why we greatly appreciate the patience of the users affected by any of the existing bugs. We always strive to release the most stable product possible... but you users ferret out absolutely everything. ;)

That being said, watch for 1.0.1. Give it a try - I bet you'll love it.

I can't answer that. A worthy donation is however much you feel we deserve, and however much you can easily give. Even if you can't give anything, showing your support by telling your friends and adding a userbar to your signature helps us out. :)
